LA clergy join procession ahead of congressional ICE hearing

Catholic clergy marched with demonstrators in downtown LA Monday morning to support hearings into alleged civil rights violations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Southern California.

About 100 demonstrators, including LA Mayor Karen Bass, walked Nov. 24 from Our Lady Queen of Angels Catholic Church (“La Placita”) near downtown LA to the Metropolitan Water District, where Bass and U.S. Rep.

Joining Bass in the procession was LA Auxiliary Bishop Matt Elshoff, OFM, Cap. and Father Arturo Corral, pastor of La Placita.
